. HOMES PLAN JURY | SELECTS WINNERS Names - Are Not Announced, as All Are Entrants in National Contest. Judgments of the jury of awards in the local regional = contest in the national better homes architectural competition, sponsored in this area by The Star, were recorded officially last night, but these regional winners as yet cannot be identified, under rules of the national competition, in which $29,000 in prizes is to be awarded. Since the three local winning designs will be entered in the national competi- tion with the three best designs from the other 12 contest areas in the com- petition conducted by the Home Home Owners' Institute, the identity of the local prize winners must remain a mystery until the national jury hB-F‘ made awards for the grand prizes. | | Necessary for Fairness. i This period of suspense, which tends to heighten interest in regional con- | fests, 1s deemed necessary to assure absolute fairness to all national con- tenders. Each of the winning regional Thouse plans thus will be identified only by & nom de plume and the final national jury will have no way of know- | ing whose plans they are judging. | Yesterday afternoon the local regional jury, headed by Frederick Vernon Murphy, dean of the School of Archi- | tecture of Cathelic University, studied the big pile of plans submitied, care- fully analyzing each in the light of vari- | ous technical and professional require- | ments and at the close of the session ! gave a unanimous decision on the three | winning designs. i In addition, four other plans were selected for Lonorable mention in the | contest, members of the jury also ren- | dering unanimous decisions on these | designs. Three Winners to Get $500. | The designers of each of the three' house plans adjudged the best of all| submitied in this area will receive $500 | cash prizes in the local regional contest, | and in addition. will be entered in the ! national competition in whicn there will be prizes of $5,000 for the first grand national award, $3,000 for the | winner of the second grand national award and $1,500 for the winner of the | third grand national award. Members of the local regional jury, in | addition to Mr. Murphy, were: Horace W. Peaslee, president of the Washing- | ton chapter of the American Institute | of Architects; Louis Justement, a past | president ot the chapter; William C.| Miller, a past president of the Washing- ton Real Estate Board and chairman of the home builders’ and subdividers® di- vision of the National Association of | Real Estate Boards: Pelix Mahony of the National School of Fine and Ap- plied Arts, Edwin W. Schneider of the | firm of Schneider-Splsedt Co., builders, | and a representative of The Star. Much Care Is Taken. Scrupulous care was exercised, in | conformity with ruies of the national | oempetition, to assure absolute fairness 1o all contestants. A clerk opened the | drawings submitted, numbered the | drawings to identify later the nom de plume signatures of the contestants, | and placed in a sealed envelope the | identifications of the entrants. Then | the jury judged the house designs, which | ad been hung about the walls of the i board room of The Star Building, where | the jury met. | On first inspection, there seemed to! be a score of real contenders for prizes, | but as the members of the jury, experts in various phases of home building | SHIPPING NEWS Arrivals at_and_Sailings From New York. | ARRIVED YESTERDAY. | Paris—Havre Bourdonnais_Bordea Evangeline —Yarmouth Lara La Guasra .....
